I guess the author has not worked with programmers from other countries. There are bad programmers everywhere. I've had the opportunity to work with programmers from all over the world, and the worst have been from the USA. Yes, American (read white). For example, the programmer who had worked in NASA who did not understand the concept of SQL injection. Yet wrote a whole system full of such security holes. Or the programmer who used to work for a big name startup. Who thought that python had to be written as if it were Java. Maybe the guy who leads a software team for a billion dollar mega corp, but does not care about source control (no GIT there). On the other hand, I've met very smart Indian programmers. Guys who write awesome stuff and get paid well (and also get bought out). And smart Russians, Italians, English, Japanese, etc. There are good and bad programmers from every country in the world. Pointing the finger at India doesn't really do anything for anybody. The reason this argument exists is due to how big corps fell for the off-shore dream. They went out and off shored their software to places that lacked properly prepared employees. It was done in India, but it was also done in other places of the world. You mostly hear about India, because there are a lot of Indians in tech (which is a good thing). Rather than point fingers at other ethnic groups, you should try and walk in their shoes a bit. Not everyone is born in a place full of opportunity. A lot of people out there have to do whatever they have to do in order to acquire a better life.
